Accessories that never go out of style

Dressing to impress often means different things for different people but there are some staples that you can always rely on.  As fashion trends come and go, it’s easy to go through countless accessories and clothing and still find yourself with nothing to wear.

The average person owns just 76 items in their wardrobe but throws away 72 every year. Luckily, there are reliable pieces that you’ll always need. Here are our top picks of accessories that are perfect for every occasion and never go out of style:

Watches

There is nothing more classic than a watch when it comes to accessorising. Humanity has been wearing watches since the 13th century with the primary reason being to tell the time. A recent survey found that the second most popular reason to wear a timepiece was related to fashion reason.

Sleek and sophisticated, mechanical tickers now come in a variety of styles, price ranges, and brands that compliment every aesthetic. Whether you own a bespoke designer piece from luxury brands like Rolex and Cartier or you’ve purchased one second-hand,  a watch is the perfect finishing touch to elevate your ensemble.

Rings

Gold, silver, platinum – rings are a timeless bit of jewellery that add a touch of subtle opulence to every outfit. Rings are not limited to any gender or aesthetic and you don’t need to wear one encrusted in diamonds to see a noticeable elevation in what you’re wearing.

The charm of a ring lies in its versatility. A relatively simple way to dress up your clothes, you can choose a ring that suits your personal style. Whether you’re wanting to take a more minimalist approach or looking for a flashy accessory, it’s up to you.

That’s not to mention the cultural significance of wedding bands.

Necklaces

Necklaces are another accessory that has the power to refine your apparel. From delicate chains to diamond chokers, this jewellery is the perfect way to make a statement. Within seconds you can change the entire attitude of your attire and provide more interest in it.

The trick is to match your necklace style and length to the neckline of your top. Whether you want an elegant addition to your outfit or an outlandish centrepiece,

Sunglasses

Perhaps a strange addition to the list but more and more people are accessorising with sunglasses. Whether it’s sunny or not, these spectacles have become fashion statements in their own and some personality to your ensemble. You can choose frames with bright colour lenses to colour coordinate with your outfit or you can use them as a chic way to keep your hair out of your face.

More important than the fashion aspect, sunglasses protect your eyes in the sunshine so you can look cute and stay safe.
